Hauntingly beautiful vocals, poetic songwriting and an awe-inspiring stage presence, Katie Brooke is making an impact with every song she shares and this has reflected in her current chart result with her latest single Too Far Down named number 1 most charted song on Australian Country Radio for 2023. Prior to this, Katie’s debut album Sticks, Stones and Stories had success of its own hitting number 12 on the Play MPE chart for Australian releases (all genres). Her song Too Much, Not Enough made the record shine even brighter making it all the way to the Grand Final of the 2023 Listen Up Music Songwriting Prize, an original song contest of over three hundred multi-genre entrants.

Katie has already soared to new heights in 2024 with the announcement of her ambassadorship with Thomas Cook Clothing Co. The perfect partnership proving her love for western fashion. Previously, Katie’s song Dreamers Tired Mind was featured in the Cosmic Cowgirl clothing campaign for popular country apparel brand Buck Wild Country and recently she performed at their new and esteemed festival, Buck Wild Country Barn Sessions.
 
 The Academy of Country Music (junior and senior) graduate has performed alongside established artists such as Gina Jeffrey’s and has opened for Shannon Noll and The Black Sorrows. As a teenager, Katie had the privilege of hosting and performing on the iconic Jim Haynes Breakfast Show during Tamworth Country Music Festival. One of her most memorable performances to date has been opening the Australian National Finals Rodeo two years in a row, astounding the audience with her horseback singing performance, a rare talent in modern country music.
 
 A country artist who truly lives and breaths it, Katie grew up on traditional country music and was raised on a beef cattle property. She continue’s to live on the land to this day believing it’s a fundamental part of staying genuine to who she is as a country artist as there’s nowhere more inspiring to create country music than looking out over the rolling hills and breathing in the fresh rural air. Katie has a bold air of nothing-to-lose and is blazing her own remarkably successful trail with her unforgettable authentic western flare. She is undoubtedly leaving a lasting impression everywhere she goes.
